With this privacy policy, we comply with the information requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for our website and for the personal data we collect via our websites. For third-party applications and websites to which links are provided, for example, the privacy policies of those websites apply. Unless otherwise stated, we are not responsible for the processing of your data within the scope of websites or applications that are not operated by us, nor for their content.
(1) If you only visit our website to obtain information, our website server only records the data that your device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) sends to our server based on the https Internet protocol. The automatic requests and responses from the server are assigned based on your IP address, which may be used to establish a connection to your person. The purpose of processing the connection data is to enable you to use our website from a technical standpoint.
(2) When you visit our website, your browser automatically sends information to our website server, which is temporarily stored in log files. The log files contain information such as your IP address, the URL of the website accessed, the date and time of access, information about a successful page view, loading time, the website from which you accessed our website, the type and version of your browser, the operating system of your device, and the name of your Internet service provider.
(3) The technical data collected does not allow any direct conclusions to be drawn about your identity. We do not store this data together with other personal data about you.
(4) The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data is technically necessary for us to display our website to you, to ensure a smooth connection, the stability and security of the system, and to protect against misuse.

(1) When you visit our website, our web server sends cookies. Cookies are very small text files that are stored on the hard drive of your device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) and assigned to the browser you are using when you visit our website. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses or Trojans to your device. Personal data is not stored in a cookie.
(2) To make our website more user-friendly, we use temporary cookies (also known as “session cookies”). These store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to your session. Temporary cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. We also use permanent cookies (also known as “persistent cookies”). When you visit our website again, it automatically recognizes that you have already visited our website and what entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again. Permanent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser's security settings. In addition to our own cookies, we also use cookies from other providers (“third-party cookies”) to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. We provide separate and individual information about the third-party cookies used in the following sections; these cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

(4) The use of technically necessary cookies and functionality cookies is based on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the functioning of our websites and their optimal usability. We also use third-party cookies (such as analysis cookies) on the basis of legitimate interests in order to optimize the quality of our websites and their
(1) The use of technically necessary cookies does not require consent, nor is there any option to object. Technically necessary cookies include, for example, session cookies that temporarily store certain settings you have made (e.g., log-in data, language settings, or other settings on our website), session cookies for load balancing on the server, multimedia cookies for playing media content (e.g., Flash Player), cookies set by integrated payment service providers (which do not analyze specific usage behavior, but only serve to prepare possible payments or check payment legitimacy), opt-out cookies that can be used to revoke cookie consent, the cookie that records the consent status for other cookies, cookies from live chat systems, and messenger services. You can only deactivate such cookies by adjusting your browser settings.
(2) We require your consent to store and read cookies that are not technically necessary. We point this out to you on our website.
(3) If you do not agree to the storage and evaluation of data from your visit, you can object to the storage and use of technically unnecessary cookies at any time. If you object, cookies will not be used and the associated data processing will be discontinued in the future. Your objection will not have any negative consequences for your use of our website, provided that you do not also deactivate the functions of the technically necessary cookies.
(4) You can object to the use of third-party cookies and the associated data processing at any time as follows: (i) You can adjust your browser settings to prevent our website from setting cookies. (ii) You can click on the opt-out link provided by the respective service provider for each individual processing operation and deactivate the further use of cookies and the associated data processing there. (iii) You can download and install the Google opt-out add-on for your browser, for example. Opt-out cookies prevent Google services from collecting your data in the future when you visit this and other websites. To prevent data collection on different devices, you must install the opt-out add-on on all devices you use.
(1) If you contact us by mail, telephone, fax, email, or via a contact form, we will process the personal data you provide and the content of the communication only to process your request and, if necessary, to comply with existing legal recording obligations.
(2) Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is generally voluntary. The legal basis depends on the specific purpose of the communication. The legal basis for data processing will often be the protection of our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (such as conducting business correspondence, responding to inquiries about data protection). If further processing is carried out to fulfill statutory retention obligations, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR is the legal basis.
(3) We delete the communication data incurred as soon as storage is no longer necessary to fulfill the purpose, unless statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
(1) We only disclose personal data to third parties if
(i) you have expressly consented (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), or

(iii) we are legally obliged to do so (Article 6(1)(c) GDP
(iv) the disclosure is necessary in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.

After revocation, we may only continue to process your personal data to the extent that we can base the processing on another legal basis (e.g., to fulfill a contract).
(3) You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data (Article 77 GDPR).
